American Bar Association 24th National Institute on White Collar Crime

Over the past two decades, this Institute has been attended by federal and state judges and prosecutors, other law enforcement officials, defense attorneys, corporate in-house counsel and members of the academic community. The faculty regularly includes some of the leading members of the white collar bar in the United States and in England. Among the audience are nationally renowned lawyers as well as many who are beginning to concentrate in the white collar area. Attendees have consistently given the Institute high ratings for the exceptional quality of its publication, the panelists’ presentations, the valuable updates on new developments and strategies, as well as the rare opportunity to meet colleagues in this field, renew acquaintances and exchange ideas. This year, they will once again present a panel for newer practitioners on February 24 in the afternoon, with an emphasis on building a white collar criminal practice.

The 2010 keynote panels will focus on the most significant fraud trials of the past year, as well as an in-depth review of recent developments regarding Brady Rule. The Institute will have excellent representation from the corporate sector, including representatives from Bechtel, Cardinal Health, General Electric, Fannie Mae, Bank of America, Prudential Financial Services, Delphi Corporation, Wal-Mart and Boeing. The Institute will also include senior members of the Department of Justice, prosecutors and distinguished members of the federal judiciary.
